Nuxellence Eye Contour | Review

I'm sure everyone can remember how the entire blogosphere went into meltdown a few years ago for the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm. To this day, it is still one of my favourite lip balms, there's nothing else like it around the same price point! Moving on from that, I started using the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse maybe a year ago now and, this is no exaggeration, I've used it every day since! Needless to say, Nuxe is a brand I fully trust so when I was given the opportunity to try out their new eye cream, I couldn't believe my luck!

Say hello to one of the newest additions to the Nuxe family!
An eye cream isn't really something I've ever given much thought to in the past. I didn't even have one in my routine before trying this one! When I first opened it and saw the funny looking applicator, my mind immediately went "GIMMICK!". And it might be to some, but I'm telling you, don't knock it 'till you've tried it! I have applied this with my fingers and it just doesn't glide on as well or feel as nice. It's got a small hole on the back which you use to squeeze the cream out and apply it and the you use the metal applicator to spread the cream all around the under eye area. I've got to say, this is one gimmick I have fully adhered to, the applicator is brilliant!

In my skincare routine, I always tended to just apply whatever face moisturizer I was using to my under eye area and call it a day. When trying this, though, I can definitely feel the difference it makes to the area, it feels so comfortable, silky smooth and moisturized, I can see how it could help prevent wrinkles from that alone! However, as with any other anti ageing product, it's impossible to tell if such claims are true or not in the short term.

All in all, this gets a thumbs up from me! I like the way this makes my under eye area feel, I like the process of applying it and I like saying I now wear and eye cream! ...feel so grown up!
